Clinical positron emission tomography (PET) research is costly and entails exposing participants to radioactivity. Researchers should therefor aim to include just the number of subjects needed to fulfill the purpose of the study, no more, no less. In this tutorial we show how to apply sequential Bayes Factor testing in order to stop the recruitment of subjects in a clinical PET study as soon as enough data have been collected to make a conclusion. We evaluate this framework in two common PET study designs: a cross-sectional (e.g., patient-control comparison) and a paired-sample design (e.g., pre-intervention-post scan comparison). By using simulations, we show that it is possible to stop a clinical PET study early, both when there is an effect and when there is no effect, while keeping the number of erroneous conclusions at acceptable levels. Based on the results we recommend settings for a sequential design that are appropriate for commonly seen sample sizes in clinical PET-studies. Finally, we apply sequential Bayes Factor testing to a real PET data set and show that it is possible to obtain support in favor of an effect while simultaneously reducing the sample size with 30%. Using this procedure allows researchers to reduce expense and radioactivity exposure for a range of effect sizes relevant for PET research.
